ABOUT

I am a highly skilled musician with both a Grade 8 Distinction on the drums and a 2:1 BA in Music and Drama from the University of Manchester. I have played in many bands with both drums, guitar and bass, including performing on Brigatte in Leeds City Centre and at the O2 Academy. I have also performed as a session musician and am competent at sight reading, learning by ear and am a very quick learner. I am interested in any musical endeavours, joining bands, composing music, jamming, multi-instrimentalist projects, paid work or any other ideas. As well as this I am a DJ (primarily Jungle/Drum & Bass as well as Jamaican music), I have performed at parties and clubs, including Pangaea (Uni of Manchester day festival). I am happy to provide DJing for events and will accept paid or unpaid work depending on the circumstances.
